Hi-Fi phone

Moondrop, the Chinese company known for its in-ear monitors (IEMs) and other audio products, is entering the smartphone market with the MIAD 01. Previously, Moondrop published a teaser page to its website hinting the phone's existence. The page revealed the name "MIAD 01" and described it as a "5G Hi-Fi mobile audio device" but mentioned no further details. What’s even more interesting is Moondrop confirmed the presence of both a 3.5mm and a 4.4mm headphone jack. While every iPhone fans are waiting for the supposed August/September release of the iPhone 3G in the Philippines, I've rounded up some of the top choices for iPhone 3G alternatives and compared them side by side. I had 4 most likely candidates as a great iPhone alternative -- the HTC Touch Diamond, Nokia N96, Samsung i900 Omnia and the Sony-Ericsson Xperia. My choices were mostly based on large-screen, touchscreen smartphones -- one major area where the iPhone claims supremacy. Some specs, like that of the iPhone's processor and RAM/ROM are not totally confirmed and were based on pieces of hardware clues taken from disassembled parts.
